i really love the food here but every time i go in there the service is kind of weird. the waitresses are all sitting around in the empty booths and they yell in japanese back and forth from opposite sides of the room. many of them don't seem to speak or understand english very well. like i said the food is good and they get it to you pretty fast but i don't like going in there because of the staff.
Pros: good food,fast service,reasonably priced
Cons: staff has very bad sloppy manors

We haven't eaten there in months. My husband, our 24 year daughter and myself ate there regularly before the new owner, and several times after it changed hands. The decor improved and the sushi (rolls) was still very good, but the teriyaki and the customer service was poor. The manager who greeted us by name, was very chatty, which we realized later was just to cover up the poor service. His excuses ranged from the cook is having a bad night to the server(co-owner) didn't understand much English. He never offered to right the wrongs , only made excuses....... well, we haven't been there in months and will only return when it either changes hands again or is under new management. It's a shame, because it was so convenient and good before.

Came to Nashville area from Orlando. Sakura had an awesome manager who gave us personal attention and made sure our meal was excellent...which it was. The sushi was excellent here! Will be back in a few weeks for more!

The ownership of this well-known sushi restuarant (at least to those in Franklin) has recently changed. The food is still great, but the service is lacking a bit. Also, they still don't have their license to sell wine. However, if you like good sushi, this is a must!

Hot waitresses make the food here even better than it already is. Even the owner is hot. HOTHOTHOT. If you don't know this place, find it. It's number one in my book, and with all of my friends!!
Pros: all made to order, lots of laughs, great food
Cons: yellow lights

My favorite sushi bar in Nashville. Staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home, and sushi is always fresh and good. Try the Charashi! This place is a well kept secret.
Pros: Fresh, Friendly, good value
Cons: small sushi bar

this is an excellent establishment, in the heart of the independence shopping center, a stones throw away from historical franklin. ask any franklin-ite, including atendees of the local high school, (about a half a mile away) this is the best sushi in town, and cost effective. p.s. the service is outstanding.

This is the best sushi I've had in Nashville,ever. The staff is unique as the quirky decor. However small, it is a virtual "Cheers", with an obvious steady "regular" cliental. I've never been in there one time without observing the staff either knowing atleast half of the customers names or what they eat. Very refreshing. Be ready for a real treat!
Pros: friendly, fresh, fun
Cons: its in Franklin, they close @9 weekday, close @ 10 weekends

This is the best sushi restaurant in Middle Tennessee. I wish they would have nigiri lunch specials like most other places do but the quality and service is outstanding. Everything here is good - soups, salads, shashimi, and even the items from the grill are great. Try the green tea.
Pros: Fresh, Fresh, Fresh
Cons: Chef is a bit slow, No nigiri lunch spec
